Review by Krzysiu
Rated 4 out of 5
by Krzysiu, 3 years agoPros:
- does what it is supposed to do
- simple
- tiny, not bloated
- uses OSM/Leaflet for settings instead Google Maps, so additional + for privacy
Cons:
- lack of per site settings (my reason of 4 instead 5 stars)
- doesn't give button to turn on/off extension (the only way is via Fx built-in mechanisms)

- Rated 5 out of 5by harl windwolf, 17 hours agoWorks exactly as expected. The options are available from the list of extensions (Ctrl+Shift+A), Location Guard, three-dot-menu, Options.
If it doesn't work for you on a specific page, that's because the page doesn't rely on the information provided by the browser, but instead checks your IP (or that of your VPN etc) and a few other location sources more aggressively than other pages. There's nothing this (or any other) extension can do about that. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14280591, 2 months agoDoesn't work. Please use a different plugin. This doesn't work at all anymore.

- Rated 1 out of 5by What???, a year agoNot working on Facebook (it's not available) but installed. Other sites it's available but I don't think it actually works. Plus actual IP address is also shown.

- Rated 3 out of 5by EC, a year agoEste parece ser bom mas essa loja avisa que não é confiável e ele também não segura o local fictício igual os vpns.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Radist, 2 years agoWorks well, thanks.
What I would need is to have some fixed "favorite" fake locations. - Rated 5 out of 5by xzilla, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by sirensynapse, 2 years agoWorks perfectly though it's not pinnable to the toolbar (FIX THIS!!!),. so getting through the multiple layers of settings to actually change things is a bitch. Go to manage extensions, then options then "use fixed location" to nail a location down.
